Our approach to experiential learning is given form and content in five major ways:

• through a learning plan formulated jointly by the student and his or her faculty advisor;
• through regular advising sessions, in which a student's ongoing work is reviewed and suggestions are made for proceeding;
• through presentations given before the learning community in which students reflect on, organize and orally present their study as a means of clarifying their learning and giving others the opportunity to benefit from what each student has learned;
• through writing a portfolio of learning in which learning is documented, analyzed, presented and reflected upon;
• through faculty evaluation of the portfolio, the basis upon which students receive feedback on their work and upon which credit is granted.
